A stone

There's a town that I go through
and it's all that I know I never
looked at the forest before today

I decided travel was for me so I asked a
trader what I'd need, he warned of
tall hills to climb and streams to wade

(chilled out C9 AM7 C9 AM7 C9 AM7, Dm sus4)

Then I started down a path
after I bought the fella's staff
and then I thought to myself, this is the way

As I walked up to the forest
a group of trees spoke in chorus and they
told me that I would be okay

(Ben fingerpicking over c# f# b AM7 c# f# b AM7 hold)

s-s-s-s-suddenly the sinking ground held my feet down
and I could no longer see town
and my senses and my aches all fell away

then a stone told me that
it had just broken a slat
of its tastiest sulfur lemonades

(same as #2 but me on beat, Zach off, and Ben other)

So I asked it if my
tree friends would tell me a lie
and the stone said to me “I am a...”

So I asked it if I
if I was soon to die,
and the stone said to me “I am a... Stone!”
